Backup

Back up your information

A Palm profile connects your phone to Palm to get automatic u pdates, back
up your data, and more. You create a Palm profile when you set up your
phone.
Your phone backs up the contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos that
are in your Palm profile account, as well as system settings and a pplications
you downloaded to your phone. An automatic backup to your Palm profile
of all this information happens every day. So if you ever need to erase the
info from your phone, you can restore all your backed-up info. You can turn
off automatic backup, and you can also perform a manual backup.
Backup does not affect information stored in online accounts like Google.
Information stored in online accounts is synchronized by the online provider
at regular intervals. Information stored in Outlook Exchange is synchronized
by your company's Exchange server.
